In today’s episode of Historical: Lest We Forget, host Lillian Cauldwell highlights a troubling development: multiple newspapers report that the current administration has barred both the Pentagon and the Defense Department from releasing satellite hurricane and weather data to the public.

These weather warnings withheld from the public raise urgent concerns about preparedness and transparency in times of crisis.Adding to this concern, Kerr County, Texas—part of the state’s flood-prone Hill Country—recently declined to install a hurricane and flood warning system due to cost. Despite years of proposals and escalating risks, county officials failed to act, leaving residents without sirens or alerts during deadly flash floods.

The absence of alerts and weather warnings withheld at the federal level has amplified fears across vulnerable regions.These alarming developments raise a critical question: Are we dismantling the very systems that protect our communities from disaster?
